It wasn’t until mid-January that the asters finally gave up on blooming — the suntrap out back keeps everything more temperate, and the weather hadn’t really gone into the 20F range before then.
This, to a Northerner, is utterly ridiculous, but here we are….
Then finally some snow and ice arrived, and the asters went from being “winter interest” to “winter spectacular”!
Special thanks to WordTapestry for the new tripod that made this shot possible…

This is a beautiful photo. In my neck of the woods (northeastern Ohio) the weather is so confused that my spring bulbs have sprouted several inches out into the rain, ice, snow that descended on us this morning.
Oh dear… The rising green shoots of future daffodils seem to have weathered the ice storm just fine here — hope your garden is full of hardy folk as well!
